Glutton for punishment? April 28, 2008

I love to run. 2 miles, 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons, full marathons – you name it (just no ultra marathons please, that’s just plain insane). One of my favorite pastimes for a bit of physical and mental exercise is to run Boston’s Charles River a couple times a week. There are plenty of bridges to give you a number of different distances depending on your mood.

So why am I telling you this?

Well, I ran five marathons in the span of 42 months from April 2000 to November 2003. Then I stopped.

Not entirely though as I continued with half marathons. However, after volunteering at this year’s Boston Marathon (registration desk duty, pic below with a friend of mine) and watching from the sidelines, I want back in!

So what did I do – I registered for the New York Marathon lottery this morning. I’ll hear if I’m officially in by mid June. Fingers crossed…

Here are my results from my previous five marathons. If you’re up for a Charles River jog, I’m game anytime, just let me know!
